Meet a person with a skill you can use

Shreedevi Sunil, 37
Storyteller, co-founder of Talking Turtles Storytellers, former school teacher

Shreedevi Sunil understood the appeal of storytelling while narrating tales to her son when he was a toddler. A few years later, she co-founded Talking Turtles Storytellers in pursuit of getting others, especially children, to share her love for the art. Her enactments of old and modern classic folktales are visually enthralling, involving the imaginative use of puppetry and voice modulation. Besides performances at schools, she conducts workshops for adults. Emphasising the importance of stories in character formation, she teaches other educators the use of storytelling techniques.

Recommended by: Shraddha Gupta, a school teacher, says, "Shreedevi's teacher training workshops are insightful. She gave us a good collection of stories that we can easily narrate to younger kids. There was never a dull moment during the session that I attended."

Available for: Lessons for adults on story narration, performance, puppetry and children's theatre.
